A ceremony took place in Da Nang on 23 February to officially mark the handover of a certificate recognising the Cham relic site nestled in Phong Le Village, Hoa Tho Dong Ward, Cam Le District, as a municipal-level historical relic site.

The relic site is worthy of such recognition thanks to its unique historical and cultural values, as well as its great potential for the development of the tourism industry.

Let's take a closer look at the freshly-recognised Cham relic site through amazing photos captured by our reporters Xuan Son and Xuan Dung.
